This variation on basic pancakes will delight blueberry fans. Use the smaller, wild blueberries for best results. Frozen (preferably organic) blueberries can be used out of season. Oats add a nice texture.

Ingredients

1¼ cups whole wheat pastry flour

¾ cup quick-cooking rolled oats (oatmeal)

¼ cup oat bran or wheat germ (or just use more oats)

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

Pinch of ground nutmeg

2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds, optional

¾ cup nondairy yogurt (coconut yogurt is great in this)

1 to 1¼ cups unsweetened nondairy milk, or as needed

1 cup fresh or frozen wild blueberries

Vegan buttery spread (such as Earth Balance)

Pure maple syrup or all-fruit preserves

Instructions

Combine the first 6 (dry) ingredients in a mixing bowl, plus the optional flaxseeds. Stir together well.

Make a well in the center and pour in the yogurt and nondairy milk. Stir with a whisk until the batter is just smooth; it should have an easy-to-pour consistency, but not too thin. Don't overbeat.

Place the blueberries in a small bowl and sprinkle with flour until they are lightly and evenly coated (this will help prevent the pancakes form turning completely blue). Gently stir them into the batter.

Heat a nonstick griddle or a large, nonstick skillet that has been lightly coated with vegan buttery spread. Ladle on the batter in amounts enough to form 3- to 4-inch pancakes. Cook on both sides until golden brown. Serve hot with maple syrup or preserves.
